[bars] Recap

[Jwahar Bammi]

Andy,
Can you explain what makes at the NC-125 so revered. It was before my time, but i did get a chance to sit at one for an extended play, have to admit i didn’t “get it”. I love playing around with tube equipment and understand tube circuits, but don’t get their value beyond nostalgia - which i admit is perfectly legit, and totally get the pride of owning one of these beauties in prime shape, but performance no.
